Communities and families split by the wall. As if the border and its myriad forms of violence were not enough, racist paramilitaries are openly organizing across the US and finding enthusiastic partners in politicians and corporate press outlets alike. And then there are the numerous Neo-nazi groups crawling out from beneath their rocks, thrilled with the “Trojan Horse” of growing anti-migrant sentiment. . .

Schedule of Events
Saturday, August 27th
10:00 am - Maquiladora\/Border Tour - RSVP required, email us at info at organiccollective dot org
7:00 pm - Benefit concert - Flyer Here
Presentation By: Roy San Filipo, formerly of the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation and currently of Bring the Ruckus will be giving a talk on reflections on anti-racist organizing.
Performing live:
Entartete Kunst - Malatesta (DJ Slo-Mo) - 187 (Raw Knowledge) - Drowning Dog - a class-conscious worker-owned collective that produce and distribute hip-hop, various electronic stylings and radical literature that promotes positive social change. We have performed in the following countries over the past 18 months; England, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Scotland and the U.S.A. With \"potent anti status quo hip hop mixes\" and spoken word, we spread ideas that promote the self emancipation of the working class.
Boomerang Politick - A break-beat signature scripted with the resonance of Drum & Bass, the “boom-bap” of Classic Breaks, the Diasporatic rhythms of Afro-Haitian-Racine and the visceral energy of Punk. An uncompromising message of Social Justice for the disenfranchised masses and the inevitability of the Proletarian victory – despite the Empire’s onslaught – delivered through breathtaking, rapid-fire rhyme and venom, no frills, stick-em’ up Emceeing. LA’s Hip Hop group Boomerang Politick brings an imminent and vital revolution to a genre all but unrecognizable to the Beat-Street poets who originally paved the way for their conception. They denounce the unabashed hypocrisy of Bourgeois Elitism, the politics of war economies, neo-colonization, globalization, white supremacy and privilege, in a violent rebuttal, expressed in such a way entirely unique to their music, to their interpretation of Hip Hop.
